It seems to be time for the annual workbench discussion, so I'll start it off. I know from previous threads that bench heights ought to be about elbow level for general work, with some sections at lo

Are you suggesting putting the tool cabinets under the workbench? I hadn't thought of that, leaning as I was toward taking up a little of the bench top area and having the tools at easy height. What

I prefer to have the tool chests / cabinets on their own shelf away from the bench. If they're at waist height, easier to reach. Plus they can be left open while working. I put power tool cases, boxe

I believe that galvanized steel would be much cheaper (go to a HVAC place) and equally servicable. That's what I plan to use when I build my new bench.

I've used these gizmos to build shelf units and I'm very happy with the results-- easy construction, etc. Make sure you have a sturdy powered screwdriver, each connector has provisions for ~ 8 screws

Based on one year's experience galvanized steel is OK. I haven't dropped any cyl blocks on it yet but otherwise OK. Due to lack of time I went to Sears and bought couple of their galv topped benches.

I have seen two different materials, probably the products of two different manufacturers. They have no structural strength and would sag unless closely braced. On the other hand, they don't splinter

Hold the phone. On "This Old House" and/or "Hometime" they used boards made from recycled pop bottles for DECKS. This couldn't be done with a material having "no structural strength". I was thinking

All right, it has _some_ structural strength! But a deck with joists on 16 inch centers would show sagging pretty soon. Using them as the face boards in a fence would be perfect since they would hang
